DB9, DBS or DB9S?
I have a 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante, this website is about Aston Martin DB9 Updates and Modifications.
A previous owner spent a large amount of money modifying parts of the bodywork and interior to look more like an Aston Martin DBS.
The DBS is based on a DB9 but is far more expensive, using many carbon parts and has an upgraded Engine, Suspension and brakes.
Modifications and Upgrades
These are changes I made to improve the performance, looks, handling or comfort of the car.
This will include upgrading the chassis to be stiffer, improving the braking or performance and also the style, comfort and convenience of the DB9.
Other modifications include upgrading the awful headlights to effective state of the art Bi-LED projectors.,
Thus the car has become far a far better car to drive and sit in.
Updates
Fitting later parts from later DB9s or DBSs to update the car, such as later seats, armrests, wheels etc.
Some updates are for convenience such as installing Android Auto and reversing camera, illuminated door handles, custom glass switches and many others.
Aston Martin DB9 Updates and Modifications
Headlight Upgrades
The VH Aston Martins, DB9, DBS and Vantage have a truly dreadful headlight design, a;though they look good, the performance is awful
They have a proprietary projector design that produces a lousy light output, and a poor beam pattern.
We can upgrade your headlights to modern state of the art Bi-LED Projectors that give a wide, accurate beam pattern much brighter and more even whilst dazzling less than the stock headlights.
Manuals
We have a comprehensive set of owners manuals, workshop manuals and brochures available for download, covering most of the VH range of Aston Martins.
